The finds of beautiful crystallized sulfur in Bolivia came at a great time, when old specimens from Sicily have become really hard to get and expensive, and only a trickle is coming from Russia. The crystals are GEMMY - not opaque bright yellow, but TRANSPARENT. This is a LARGE plate! 14.9 x 12.5 x 5.6 cm
